December 30, 2008

A motorist, angered that a snowplow was blocking his driveway, was arrested after he tried to climb into the plow cabin to get at the driver, according to Kane County sheriff's police.The incident took place shortly after noon Christmas Eve, when the Aurora Township driver was plowing Pasadena Drive.

The plow driver told police that the driver of a Ford Explorer that was in the middle of the street urged him to back up the truck so the man could get into his driveway.

When the plow driver told the man he couldn't back up because he couldn't see behind his truck, the man got out of his car and tried to climb into the cab, according to the report. The plow driver radioed for help, and residents at the house reportedly dragged the man inside.
